3x19: LIVEBLOGGING AND REACTION POST

[needs_more_green]

(Alas, I am on the wrong computer to give you all a fancy gif...)

So, for those of you who are more excited for Glee's senior prom episode than you are or were for your own prom/formal (and this would be me, right here...)--this is the place for you! Share your last minute spec, with safely tagged comment headers up to when the episode airs, of course. Have gifparties, have freak outs, have fun.

About half an hour before one of us will set up a thread for livebloggage, which everyone is free to use and flail in as they please. After the ep your general reactions can go here too!

GET PUMPED, BASICALLY.

I'm not sure this prom can beat the awesomeness of last year's but I'M EXCITED anyway.

Last minute speculation

Anything predictions you want to get in before the ep starts? Put 'em here!

My predictions

[needs_more_green]

Getting in some last minute predictions now:

-According to parallels, Will will be given an opportunity to "get out". Probably he will not take it, but I will throw a freaking party for him if he does.

-In any case, the ep will have a Will storyline in it, and probably it will concern his dreams. (episode 18 is all about Kurt and Rachel's dreams, 19 is about Will's and also how he is really sad).

-Also according to parallels a secret will be revealed.

-The hairgel storyline will manage to be super sad and upsetting.

-Kurt is dressed as a tribute to Starburns (aka "Dude My Name Is Alex") of Community. If someone points this out, I predict I will die and write large amounts of RPF where Dan Harmon and Ryan Murphy are besties and have sleepovers and giggle about parallels.

-I have absolutely no clue who will win PQ/PK. I want it to be Becky and Puck, but also I want it to be Becky and Kurt. Or Quartie, even though one of them isn't a senior (shhh I can dream).

-The episode is a set up for Finchel (and hopefully Wemma) being the thing from episode 10 that breaks in episode 20.

-I will weep openly at Big Girls Don't Cry.

-Probably there will be a guest star? Probably it will be a former glee club member?

-A lot of people will spend most of the night very, very scared. (And Asian Fusion will watch a lot, just in case.)

GO NUTS, KIDS.

I am unimpressed.

It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t offensive or anything like I was scared it might be.

But it also wasn’t…good? Mostly I was just bored during the entire episode, and that's...not a good sign, people.

Idk. I was expecting better, especially since last year’s was so good.

Things I did like:

- Puck and Becky and every flawless thing they choose to be.

- Blaine as comic relief. Darren has excellent comedic timing, and I'm glad to finally see it.

- Quinn growing as a person.

- Tike, Samcedes, and Klaine being flawless as usual.

- Brittany was funny.

But...idk. I feel like this episode should have been more serious? Like, it didn't really have anything tying it together. It didn't have a *plot*. It was just...McKinley Prom 2012. That was it. There was nothing deeper to it than that.

idk. I am disappointed.

I will say, though, that even though I read the spoilers, and knew when Quinn was counting the votes there was no way Rachel wasn’t going to win (wow, random thought: faberry fans must be going crazy right about now—Quinn gave up her crown for Rachel) my heart stopped when they said “for the second year in a row, a write-in canidite has been chosen.”

And the camera zoomed in to Kurt, and then zoomed in to Blaine’s face.

And for three heartbreaking seconds I thought, oh no, they are going to crown my sweet baby prince prom queen just like his boyfriend last year.

(Then they announced it was Rachel and I stopped caring. BUT FOR THREE SECONDS I WAS ABOUT TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK.)

I think this episode was really important from a character standpoint. I have homework to do right now, but I will return and detail just how.
